Badin Lake was constructed in 1917 by the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) on the Yadkin River. The reservoir covers an area of 5,350 acres, has 115 miles of shoreline, with a maximum depth of 190 feet. Fluctuations in water depth are minor. A large part of Badin Lake’s shoreline adjoins the Uwharrie National Forest which received its name from part of the oldest mountain range in North American, the Uwharrie Mountains.  In 1961, President John F. Kennedy designated 43,000 acres of Montgomery, Randolph and Davidson Counties as a National Forest. Needless to say, the National Forest enhances the beauty and tranquility of Badin Lake. With the combination of other lakes and dams upstream and the National Forest, Badin Lake has much less sediment and the water is clearer than most other lakes in the area. The central location (about one hour from Charlotte, Greensboro and Winston-Salem) makes it easily accessible for a weekend get away or permanent home in a beautiful setting.

Whatever your interest – fishing, boating, skiing, canoeing, golf, or watching the beavers as they build their homes along the shore line – you can find it at Badin Lake.

Our property previews include a boat tour to see the homes and home sites from the Lake.
